The food is very good, but they’re on the higher end of the fast-food cost scale. The whole place is pretty funny, because there are quotes from Jack Box all over the place. On the soda fountain, “We don’t make it ’til you order it. Except the drinks, you can make those yourself.” On the paper bag, “Your free state-of-the-art fast-food transportation device.”

I’m not eating beef right now, and I miss the sourdough Jack very much.

No kiddin. I just remember those closings and whatnot. All fast food is only marginally save anyway

Maybe your question has an answer in being nervous about eating out. I think I originally felt that it was a good idea and it would be healthy to cut meat out of my diet. Then I stopped eating certain things slowly over time (I think originally beef and fish) and cut others out as bad experiences happened. I used to eat barbeque turkey sandwiches everyday for lunch at my old work. One day I bit into a bunch of grizzle and bone. Pretty well stopped eating it since. I also find I’m much healthier, no food poisoning, less risk, and I like the realities of not eating meat.

Basically, you can get everything and a healthy balanced diet and not eat meat, but it is (I think) slightly more expensive than the typical american meaty diet. Also, huge amounts of calories in grain are lost in feeding cattle to raise meat. I think the ratio is something like 10 to 1 or 10 to 2 – which means you could feed a lot of folks in these impoverished grain producing countries who are exporting their crops to mcdonalds for cattle. Its inefficient. And I read “The Jungle” … I can’t stand the mistreatment of workers in these plants and the animals they raise. I could go on. But I respect the right of everyone to eat whatever they please, otherwise, who’s to tell me I shouldn’t eat meat, you know?
